William Ligue Jr., charged in the attack of a Kansas City Royals coach in September, on Wednesday denied recent allegations that he was abusive to his 15-year-old son, who also was arrested in the attack.

Ligue's fiancee and his sister also said Ligue was not abusive to his son.

"I love my son," Ligue said at his sister's home in Alsip. "All these allegations (about abuse), they are not true."
